Olivier Metzner, lawyer for Nike Inc., world's largest athletic-shoemaker, addresses the media on March 15, 2010 as he arrives at a Paris court, on the first day of a trial with French football club Paris Saint Germain (PSG). Nike�s French unit and two of its former executives are on trial with the PSG team, former club officials and player agents. They are all accused of taking part in a scheme to hide payments used to entice players to the team while avoiding French employment taxes. Nike France is accused of faking documents and using them to aid in disguising how much transferred players were paid. French investigators opened a probe in 2005 after questioning a player who said Paris Saint-Germain made off-the-books payments to convince players to transfer to the team. The probe found PSG worked with agents and Nike, the team�s sponsor since 1994, to find ways to attract stars like Brazil�s Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, or Ronaldhino, and Nigeria�s Augustine �Jay- Jay� Okocha, without paying taxes on all they were paid.
